  • Die Cloud-Visionen der US-Regierung

    Es ist offenkundig eine gute Zeit für serverbasierte Web-2.0-Dienste: In den USA hat der frisch ernannte Chief Information Officer der Obama-Administration, Vivek Kundra, mit "Apps.gov" eine neue Website gestartet, auf der Regierungseinrichtungen zertifizierte Cloud-Computing-Dienste auffinden und buchen können.

    Die Einführung der Technik kam im Vorfeld nicht ohne Kritik aus, berichtet Technology Review in seiner Online-Ausgabe. Experten hatten unter anderem vor neuen Problemen in den Bereichen Sicherheit und Schutz der Privatsphäre gewarnt. Befürworter betonten dagegen, dass die Nutzung von Cloud-Systemen all dies sogar im Vergleich zur heute verwendeten, teils veralteten Regierungs-IT verbessern könne.

  • Die USA kämpfen um den Titel "Internetnation"

    Die USA haben Probleme mit dem Ausbau ihrer Breitband-Internetanbindung.

    Ein heute, Donnerstag, veröffentlichter Bericht der National Telecommuniactions and Information Administration (NTIA) spricht zwar von großen Erfolgen auf diesem Gebiet. Kritiker sehen hinter der Studie "Networked Nation: Broadband in America" allerdings nicht viel mehr als eine übertrieben euphorische Einschätzung der gegenwärtigen Situation. Die Regierung habe es in den letzten Jahren nicht geschafft, auf dem rasant wachsenden Internetmarkt für genügend Wachstumsanreize und Wettbewerb zu sorgen. Besonders die Anbindung mit Breitband-Internet bleibe weiterhin ein wunder Punkt für Regierung und Industrie.

  • Die USA treiben eGovernment voran

    Rund 345 Millionen US-Dollar will die US-amerikanische Regierung in den kommenden vier Jahren ausgeben, um die elektronische Verwaltung voranzubringen. Den entsprechenden Electronic Government Act hat US-Präsident George W. Bush heute unterzeichnet. Das Gesetz sieht vor, dass dafür im kommenden Jahr zunächst 45 Millionen US-Dollar zur Verfügung stehen, bis hin zu 150 Millionen US-Dollar im Jahr 2006.

  • Digital transformation: Five digital projects changing lives around the world

    01 Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada

    The first city in Canada to develop and implement a digital strategy, Vancouver continually aims to improve the ways in which residents can access city services and information.

    “Our digital transformation initiatives across the organisation have delivered value and benefits to residents, staff, businesses and visitors,” says Jessie Adcock, City of Vancouver chief technology officer.

  • DoD Acquisition Office Recognizes Transformational E-Business Working Group

    An expanded electronic government -- doing more "e- business" -- is a cornerstone of President Bush's management agenda to improve government functions and performance.

  • e-Authentication prototype awaits e-gov projects

    The federal government has an operational prototype of the e-Authentication gateway, one of the Office of Management and Budget’s 25 Quicksilver e-government projects, that is managing access to two applications.

  • E-Gov Act May Still Pass Muster

    When Congress recessed last week for the mid-term elections, hopes for most legislation stalled in the Senate or House of Representatives faded considerably. Notably, though, proponents for the E-Government Act of 2002, which has passed the Senate but not the House, still believe passage is possible before the end of the year.

  • E-Gov Act on its way to president

    Acting with almost Internet speed, the Senate passed the Electronic Government Act late on Nov. 15, just hours after the House approved the measure. All that's needed now is the president's signature and $45 million will be available for e-government projects during the current fiscal year.

  • E-gov agenda takes shape

    In one of the most dramatic changes in information technology policy since the passage of the Clinger-Cohen Act of 1996, President Bush is expected to sign into law this week the E-Government Act of 2002, which lays out the rules of engagement for agencies providing information and services online.

  • E-gov bill offers state and local buying

    A provision in the federal electronic government bill that passed Congress last week will allow state and local governments for the first time to buy information technology supplies and services off the Federal Supply Schedules.

  • E-gov bill passes House

    The House Nov. 15 unanimously passed e-government legislation that would set up a new Office of E-Government within the Office of Management and Budget to improve coordination and deployment of information technology across government.

  • E-gov chief says budget delays not hurting tech projects

    The head of the Bush administration's e-government initiative said Wednesday that delays over budget approvals have not adversely affected information technology projects within federal agencies.

  • E-Gov Law Sets Up Clash Over White House Outsourcing Plan

    President Bush signed a new e-government initiative today, but librarians and public interest groups are warning that some White House policies could undermine the law by making it harder and more costly for citizens to use the Internet to find government documents or take advantage of essential federal services.

  • E-Gov Law to Promote Cyber-Collaboration

    President Bush signed into law the "E-Government Act of 2002" Monday, establishing a framework for information security standards and programs, and codifying the federal government's commitment to delivering its services online.

  • E-gov selection process found to be flawed

    During the selection of the Bush administration's 24 e-government initiatives, the Office of Management and Budget did not consider how at least half of the projects would impact the customer, a new report from the General Accounting Office said.

  • E-gov walk-ins welcome

    Even though states are pressing for e-government solutions, they still have to account for the unconnected status of some residents. That's why GovConnect Inc. is working with Western Union Holdings Inc. to craft a walk-in answer for child support payments.

  • E-Government Act Awaits President's Return

    Sitting on President Bush's desk and awaiting his expected signature when he returns from the NATO summit later this week is the E-Government Act, which Congress approved late last week.

  • E-government bill wins praise from tech officials

    Privacy advocates and technology industry groups are hailing the passage of legislation aimed at boosting online government services. They see the measure, which President Bush is expected to sign before year's end, as a way to cement the government's commitment to modernization and as a boon to consumer privacy.

  • E-government in Estonia a model for the U.S.

    President Obama has promised to select America’s first chief technology officer, a post that carries with it the responsibilities of expanding broadband access, boosting science education, digitizing the healthcare system and promoting a more transparent and wired government. One country whose e-government leadership has caught the eye of U.S. experts as they look for models and benchmarks is the tiny Baltic state of Estonia.

    As Estonia emerged from behind the Iron Curtain in the early 1990s, the country of 1.3 million quickly created an e-government infrastructure that put the nascent one in the U.S. to shame.

  • E-government is a great idea for city, county

    Kudos to Elliott Masie and Mayor Ken Klotz for initiating a conference about how government can use electronics to meet the needs of citizens.
